1. President: The current bylaws state that the board positions end after a maximum of 2 years. Elections will be held in May and we need volunteers.

2. Vice President: We received a thank you card from the Spanish teacher for the books.

3. Superintendent: Spelling Bee was an AMAZING success. Big thank you to Auora and Jenny. Natalie, Mary, Guin and Diane Tiessen did a wonderful job as well. Star test is embedded in curriculum of every class at Sunol Glen. New testing options are being considered for 2015. California is looking at the Oregon model which is more cognitive and gives immediate scores. The German students were here yesterday 2/6. Our students were able to learn from the German students about their culture. Thank you to Judy Bettencourt for setting this up. Bring a Friend to Sunol is tonight. We are actively trying to get the word out. We need 30-34 kinders and 8-10 more 1st graders to retain current teachers.

4. Secretary- no report­­

5. Treasurer- Current balance $58k and we have $56,480 allocated. (We actually about $5k in the hole after you factor in $7k for next years teacher fund) We are currently spending $120 in fees for credit card processing. Don has been looking at other companies but most very vague on their fees for nonprofit. Motion to approve an additional $50.01 for overage in Spelling Bee. Don moved, Kindra 2nd.Motion approved by CC members. There are three teachers who haven't touched their money. Should there be an expiration date on the funds? If certain teachers never spend their money, this means the money is not be spread over ALL students. We may need to get an intent form from teachers if they are saving their money for something more expensive. Some teachers may not want to spend if they don't have a need. It was brought up that maybe we have a grant based on need if teachers don't use the money by February. We need to be sure to tell teachers that if they don't take the money one year, it does not preclude them from money the following year. We need to get more money into Escript account. Intramural coaching at lunch will start with Mr. Wheeler 3 days a week at lunch.
